I, ISRAEL L. G. RICE, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have iuvented a certain Apparatus for the eure of Spermatorrha, of which the following is a specification;

The natureof my invention consists inprovidiug a convenient receptacle for cold water in treatingr diseases ofthe peuisand testicles.

-To'euable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

I make a 'vessel of rubber or other suitable material, provided with double walls and bottom, shown at A, so that water may be putin between the sides, as shown at B, and provided with a tube, as shown at C, by means of which it may be filled.

Ou the outside of' this vessel I pnt loops, shown at D.

Ihe object of this apparatus is to 'prevent seminal losse: by keeping the genital organs cool, which I accomplish as follows:

I fill the vessel with cold water by means of the tube C; I t-hcn fasten the mouth of the tubeby tying it with a cord or by using a clamp. The penis or testicles, or testicles alone, are then placed in the interior of the vessel at A it is their secured tothe body by means of tapesattached to thc loops l) D;

the other ends of the tapes are fastened to a belt passed around the body. l

The water that is between thc sides cools the organs, and thus prevents emissions.

In some difficult cases it may be found :ulvantageous to connect the tube C with some other vessel containing cold water, which may run into B when the water.
